I think this is related to the foods we are eating. It does catch up with you. Also exercise as well can help keep testosterone levels up.

The problem with your argument is that there are other diversity initiatives in the programming world which are mainly gender and race focused. That is undeniably true. There hasnt been the same thing at the same scale for older programmers

This reads like you seized one sentence and stopped reading because you didnt like what was said so dismissed the whole article. Thats not fair IMO. I read the whole thing and the article uses the first sentences to set the backdrop for his

Umm just wanted to note one of my friends started a meetup group for over 40 coders in NYC. I'll update this post with the link to the meetup. I'm gonna contact him now.

> Cash is not what makes stores stink or get dirty; what you're saying is that you prefer stores without people you associate with stink, ie., homeless. But if the homeless could "simply" get a card, cashless stores wouldn

Their money is arguably safer and they have recourse if their card is stolen.

I heavily prefer cashless stores. For me it's all about the convenience. Also I am better able to track my purchases and spending habits. Additionally, I like eat in a clean environment if I can. I don't want to eat where it stink

The fact that this is skewed a bit to favor those who paid in based on their state of origin I am certainly ok with. The state had a strong hand in creating the business environment for people to thrive in such a way that they could become

It is not a 1:1 ratio though as it really only lowers your taxable income. I agree that it should be limited but states should be incentivized to not need the federal government for much.

by thegayngler 8y ago
Actually, I do like this incentive structure when put in this way. I think incentivizing people to take responsibility for themselves with only limited amounts of help from the federal government is the right thing to do.

In theory, I agree. However, why should California and the rest of the blue states be financing the whole country when the other states can collect their own taxes to pay for disaster relief and other items they need. They are already getti

Is it unproductive spending? What makes you think that workers who want to live a decent life are spending unproductively? Why is it more productive to spend money on space flight initiatives?

Id argue it was a 4 way split honestly. Mobile Safari absolutely dominated the mobile browsing space which was growing by leaps and bounds at that time.

This article is dead on the money. Some of the mistakes I made career wise were related to not fully understanding the differences between startup engineering and corporate engineering. I can see now that in two cases I was the wrong person

Not necessarily. When on vacation I used rideshare everywhere I went in Texas as I didnt rent a car. When I lived in Texas I had my own car because ride share isnt an option I could use regularly. In NYC I never needed ride share at all. I

I think the popularity of Uber and Lyft is a direct result of the lack of adequate city transit solutions. If big city transit was robust and at least at the level of NYC or more people would likely opt for it and the big cities could plan

by thegayngler 8y ago
Something else to consider is that traffic was bad way before ride sharing companies started popping up. Secondly, additional taxes will ultimately end up being paid for by people who do not own a vehicle. A better way to help alleviate tra

Aren't garbage men paid like $80k/year US with great benefits? I could be wrong but it seems like they have a much better situation overall than these people and the mental health issues seems like a much bigger problem than poten

Thank you for your admission. I too am naturally arrogant. People think I'm being weird if I'm not arrogant. I get weird people saying they don't believe me when I'm being humble. Probably because arrogant is who I am as

Yikes if this is true. If I were on a jury there is absolutely no way Yelp would survive this assuming this is true and assuming there is not evidence that makes me reconsider my position on this. The fact that the documents were not provid

I am of the belief that in many cases if not most cases toxic workers are created and that most workers hired are not initially toxic for that work environment. So the question I have is what are the company's doing that turns people f

While true, how do you do that and still maintain the flexibility of moving from lets say Javascript to Golang or Swift development? A Union would stifle or add friction for people wanting to quit your current job work with different techno

I disagree with these quotes. You can be critical and understanding and forgiving at the same time. People just get their feelings hurt way too easily. Criticism usually makes me think twice and reevaluate it if I feel it comes from a good

So basically consent to use your data is a lifetime contract. I think you should be able to delete(I don't mean disable) your data from the platform when you sever ties with a platform.

Public transportation is totally unreliable at best and unusable at worst in the urban areas of the US. If it takes an hour or two to go anywhere then people are going to opt for something better.
